[GNC] Fw: Help - Re: Gnucash Crash when Paying invoices

[J. Richard Herbert]

It appears that updating from 5.13 to 5.16 using flatpak to get around a 
glitch in 5.13 that was still in the openSUSE Tumbleweed repository has 
its draw backs even though I have gone to .config and .local to put in 
my previous files. My stylesheets, reports and custom checks are not there.

Is it possible for my to retrieve these somehow or do I need to get 
those going from scratch? I will do which ever gets me there.

Thanks in advance

Richard
